Black Mage(黒魔道士, Kuromadōshi?), also known as Wizard, is a job from Final Fantasy Tactics. The offensive magickal job class wielding Black Magick, Black Mages are not as common as White Mages. Their magick does heavy damage, and can easily take out many units at once. Their spells do not differentiate between friend and foe, so players using Black Mages have to be careful. It takes 8,150 Job Points to master this class. It takes 8,400 JP to master this job in the War of the Lions.

Firaja, Blizzaja, and Thundaja have a 30% chance of randomly being learned in battle by a Black Mage who hasn't learned the spell yet and is damaged but not KO'd by the spell, or absorbed and heals at least 1 HP. Nullifying the damage does not count.

Arcane Strength increases damage inflicted/HP restored by magicks by 33%, and increases success rate of status attack magicks. Also works for other abilities that depend on the Magick Attack stat, like Iaido, Geomancy, and Limit.
